Non-destructive methods for fruit quality evaluation

Abstract This work studies the evolution in time of several varieties of apples with application in quality storage maintenance. Two different methods were used to evaluate long-stored apples for better sorting and degradation assessment. The first method was laser photoacoustic spectroscopy for the...
